Powder crossover

What powder work well on both 9mm and 40 cal?

 

[straight-shooter]

CFE Pistol or Winchester 231 would be my choice.

Another vote for W231...that stuff works for EVERYTHING!

It even adds some spice to my homemade spaghetti sauce.

BE-86 and Sport Pistol.

I use Titegroup for 380, 9mm and 45acp. I'm sure it works for 40cal as well.

I use whatever is on my shelf for most pistol loads, right group, tightwad, bullseye, unique. Most pistol powders you find on the shelves are very versatile. Most people can’t outshoot the differences.

+1 for TiteGroup. Some people don't like it because there isn't much range from min to max and it is a low capacity powder. My loads are mid range and I am very careful not to double charge.

Universal.

Versatile, burns clean.

ShootersWorld Clean Shot
Alliant Sport Pistol

Both work well in both.

W231 is my go-to for almost all non-magnum handgun calibers. Titegroup is good as well, but much more dirty than 231, IMO.

Not sure on .40, but I like HS6, HP38, and Titegroup in that order for 9mm.

And its been mentioned as a choice, but nobody mentioned that HP38 and W231 are the exact same powder. Same stuff, just different names/brands/containers.

Titegroup or Win231. Both have run well and are relatively clean IMO.

The guys I shoot with mostly use Titegroup for 9, 40 and 45. I've used quite a bit of HP38/Win231, but found that 147gn 9mm loads are about 100fps slower and won't cycle most of my guns w/o weaker recoil springs. It works awesome for 115 and 125gn bullets though.

Lots of other good suggestions above also. Given today's climate, don't be too picky and get a lb of most any mentioned pistol powder you can find!

Don't forget Longshot. It works in about every handgun cartridge.
